The SSI Refresher / ReActivate pathway

The SSI Scuba Skills Update is the agency's refresher programme, delivered through the SSI digital system. It refreshes your existing certification rather than awarding a new level.

Where you'll dive in Similan Islands

The update is run on the calm local reefs off Khao Lak, where gentle conditions in the November-to-April season are ideal for rebuilding confidence before heading to the Similan national-park sites.
